| Abstract | |
Migration is one of the pillars of the relationship between Brazil and Portugal. Over this assumption, this study aims to understand the formation, the maintenance over time and current configuration of Luso-Brazilian immigration system. Starting from Population Geography, the thesis dialogues with the main disciplines of geographical science, notably Political Geography and Economic Geography, as well as other human sciences like Sociology and Anthropology. A periodization is adopted in an effort to articulate the migration and geographical imaginations seen as result and an inductive process of geopolitical orders. This diachronic perspective takes as bottom line the formation of portuguese territorial state and, later, the formation of brazilian territorial state. The research seeks to emphasize, particularly, how brazilian and portuguese immigrants, men and women, participates on the recent transformations of Brazil and Portugal. Since the end of this decade, there is a situation in which migration flows and counterflows are virtually equivalent. Quantitative and qualitative data were used to demonstrate that portugueses in Brazil and brazilians in Portugal, those whom emigrated from 2000 until now, have different profiles in terms of age, sex, educational level and labour market insertion. The analysis of the similarities and differences between these groups of immigrants led to the consideration that they do face barriers and different challenges, but combine a contribution to a redefinition of a historical and asymmetrical relationship, strongly marked by the sharing of a Luso-Brazilian population.
